ANNOUNCING
NEWEST MUSEUM PUBLICATIONS
MARGIE WILLIAMS
THE CIVIL WAR IN WAYNE COUNTY
|
When Margie (Dodson) Williams became a volunteer at the Wayne County Museum she probably
had not idea that she would be compiling a book.
Now, after over a year, she is ready to announce that she has compiled hundreds of stories
and photographs of Wayne County men and women who were impacted by the Civil War.
The book consists of over 260 pages and approximately 300 photographs! MANY OF THEM
ARE IN COLOR! (This is the first time the Wayne County Museum has attempted to print a book with significant color pages!)
There are hundreds of soldiers (Union and Confederate) mentioned in the book.
The cover features a painting of Kenneth Coffey of Confederate troops at Mill Springs.
In addition to photographs of people, there are copies of pension papers and other military
related records.

WAYNE & CLINTON COUNTIES
KENTUCKY"
1921 MAPS
OF WAYNE COUNTY
by
W.R. Abbott
THIS BOOK ALSO INCLUDES SCANS OF
THE PARMLEYSVILLE OIL FIELD
by
A.P. Hodges & S.J. Bell
In
the continuing commitment to provide quality publications that preserve the history of Wayne County, the museum staff is always
on the lookout for materials that will be helpful in accomplishing that mission.
One
of the museum displays has a large map entitled: OIL
FIELD MAP WAYNE & CLINTON COUNTIES KENTUCKY. The map was made in 1921 before Lake Cumberland was impounded. The
map shows many of the oil wells but it is also of special value in that it show community locations, churches, schools, cemeteries,
roads, streams and ponds. Most people find it interesting because it shows the
location of farms, their owners, and simple drawings of the farm plots.
If
you have ever wondered where your ancestor’s farms were and who lived adjacent to them, this map may be of great value
to you.
The 60
scans of the maps are assembled in a book with 8 1/5 x 11 pages and has a spiral binding.
The
publication can be purchased in the museum gift shop or can be ordered from the museum.
The cost of the book is $12.72 (includes all taxes) + $4.00 shipping.

PRICE: $22.00 + $1.32 tax
SHIPPING: $4.00
BINDING: Softback Spiral
PAGES: 65
DESCRIPTION: The world has known untold numbers of
great historians. From ancient days, there have been those who recognized the
value of preserving a record of people, places, and events. These efforts have,
for the most part, been completely unselfish in nature.
True historians are not seeking to make a name for themselves. Their reward is
the simple preservation of the historical record that will instill a knowledge and
pride that comes from knowing "from whence we came."
Garnett R. Walker, the premier historian of Wayne County, Kentucky was such a
man!
Mr. Walker spent the major part of his life, in his words, "dabbling" in
Wayne County history. Those of us who have benefitted from his "dabbling" know that his research went
far beyond a surface research of Wayne County
history!
He carefully researched his subject and, with the spirit and skill of a master teacher, interpreted and communicated
that history in a way to inspire us and instill pride in our heritage.
In 1961, Garnett wrote ONE BRIEF DAY to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War.
He faithfully records the effect the war had on the people of Wayne County. Every person acquainted with Wayne County
history will be able to relate to this publication.
In this memorial edition of the work he published, we have sought to remain faithful to the original text.
The reader will find some of the statements "dated" in that those statements were ture at the time they were written.
We have not changed many of those statements, desiring to let the reader experience the full effect of of Mr. Walker's writing
skills.
We have added many photographs and other visual items that we hope will enhance your reading enjoyment of
this important work.
May the memory of Garnett R. Walker remain alive in the minds and hearts of all
those who love Wayne County history!
